Hollins’ Day of Giving on April 13, 2023

Ambassadors Information Call March 28 at 4:30 p.m. – Register Here!

Day of Giving provides a 24-hour unifying celebration to reflect on our Hollins memories, connect with classmates, and celebrate how Hollins helps us #MoveMountains with a gift in support of current students. It is also a time for us to demonstrate our collective commitment to philanthropy across the Hollins community.

A Hollins education provides the tools to move mountains. Rigorous academics with engaging faculty, experiential learning, and leadership opportunities have inspired current and past students to see further and lift their sights higher. Hollins alumnae/i regularly move mountains in the world, as they work within, engage in, and advocate for their communities. Those same alumnae/i, along with other parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends near and far, move mountains for our campus community every day by their mentorship, volunteerism, and philanthropy.

Join the Hollins community on April 13 as we reflect on how Hollins helped us #SeeFurtherLiftHigher and make your gift!

Make Your Gift – It Matters!

Truly, there is no such thing as a gift too small – Hollins needs broad support to reach our goals! Alumnae/i participation directly impacts Hollins’ rankings, which influence the value of our degrees, national reputation, and current enrollment efforts. Alumnae/i participation is also an indicator of confidence that major donors, foundations, and corporations all consider when discerning their investments.

The Impact of the Hollins Fund

When you make a gift to the Hollins Fund, you have a direct impact on Hollins students and on the Hollins community. Your gift both honors your own Hollins experience and ensures current students have every opportunity to achieve their own limitless potential.

Tuition does not cover the full cost of a Hollins education. The Hollins Fund provides a significant percentage of Hollins’ operating budget – eleven percent – and is the critical difference in our ability to fulfill our educational mission by providing unrestricted dollars that directly support the student experience.

When you give to the Hollins Fund, your gift has an immediate impact, not only toward our greatest needs but also by underwriting expenses related to student success, well-being, and belonging; supporting scholarships and financial aid; internships and study abroad; and so much more!
